'doc'

When you take starting this site to that level of handing a man nails when he needed them it makes you sound very kind and caring.

But when you had no contact with the man and you then decided to take the hammer and your nails and build a house across the road almost the same as his what would you expect him to do.

He paid a lot in time and effort to build his house and now because of a shortage of nails you have decided to upsurt him.

Could you have not reached him in some way because as you have said he lives or works, I forget eactly what you said, just down the street from you.

Walk over and ask him personallly.

You didn't ask anyone and that is my problem with all the protestations of caring and concern which to me is a misnomer.

Sorry but that is what you get for talking to me lol

It was very nice of DocJohn to try to reach John at all. Why are you saying he didn't try hard enough?

I for one appreciate him stepping into the gap to help out all the stranded BTer's. Why are you giving him such a hard time Thelma? You sound suspicious when it should be clear to any and all that he did a REALLY nice thing here, with no ill intent or malice or anything but altruistic motives to help us all. Why does he need to constantly explain himself to you?

He doesn't deserve this constant barrage from you Thelma. He's explained himself over and over again as a result of your accusations and suspicions. This man deserves a medal, not criticisms. He stepped INTO the gap when one became apparent to him. He didn't have to do it, I can't imagine any professional "accolades" that he'll receive for spending his time to do it. I just can't fathom any reason except generosity towards all of us.

Give it a rest please Thelma? He doesn't deserve this constant attack and nitpicking questioning his motives.

He's a good guy, he showed it by his actions. No explanation necessary. As far as I'm concerned we owe him a huge THANK YOU, not to cast his actions under a cloud of suspicion.

i hate drunk drivers -sorry you got hit

breath test is zero allowed in slovakia
if we lived there we may have normal lives

mountains ,accordian music, and beer but no drunk driving

usa has turned to hell on earth-then again there are lots of nice people who will help- some hope is out there

Should be obvious by now. Why are you here? Why are any of us here?

And the really important question is why does it matter to anyone?

I get the impression that some ppl are worried that others might just like this forum better. Who cares who goes back to BT or stays here?

With the touted "bazillion" members over there, I seriously doubt awol members will make a dent.

The disks were supposed to arrive yesterday, so it should be 'any day now' :D

This is just the kind of place I've been looking for. Works for me. If it's not your cup of tea, that works for me too.

And I am sick of the inneudos to docjohn's motives AND that we all need "counseling" because we prefer here. LMAO!!

I think it speaks for the fact that many of us are not co-dependent on any website. We're adults and can make choices all by ourselves. Quite a concept.

'Thelma,' ummm, I did ask. I even asked our shared colleagues. All I got was silence in response.

When I click on the BT1 site, the message page is gone - only blank.

Wonder if this means they are working on it?

It's OK, ((((((Thelma)))))).

I wish "they'd" let you be. But, that's like trying to control someone else's environment -- I learned a long time ago--can't do that...my Daddy actually taught me that you should hang all the coat hangers in the same direction so you could grab your clothes and get out fast in case there was a fire.

Well...it took my neighbors getting burned out to realize that nobody gives a dang about the clothes. We had enough trouble getting a baby, a toddler, a woman with severe MD and a bed-ridden old man out -- nobody gave one hoot about the dang clothes.

Whether you believe it or not, Thelma, SOME OF US recognize the hurt and wish you weren't hurting and wish we could help.

THAT'S why we care. Bless you dear Lady.

I whole heartedly agree with Farside and many others here that have camped out on DocJohn's doorstep. Look at all the postings since BT1 went down. There are more positives than negatives. People need a safe haven to flock to and this is what many have done here on BT2. Thelma, why are you so down on DocJohn? Has he hurt you? He owes you no explanation. Let it go. What efforts have you made to contact JL?
I personally tried and so have others and no responses. What are we to think? Get a grip. I think you owe the Doc an apology. He has let you in his campsite and your still roasting your marshmellows. When and if BT1 returns you can hop right over there. No one is keeping you here. No one is keeping anyone here. The choice is yours.

i just checked...got the same message dated 8/24/06
